The NBC daytime serial will feature a wedding with “earth-friendly elements” in a story line that is to begin this month and end in May with the marriage of Samantha “Sami” Brady (Alison Sweeney) and Lucas Roberts (Bryan Dattilo).

Ken Corday, the show’s executive producer, said last month’s Academy Award for the global-warming documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” may be an indication of “where the world is headed and how urgently we need to address the current environmental crisis.”

It’s important for the soap opera to “fall in step in helping to raise the viewers’ consciousness of certain environmental problems and solutions,” Corday said in a statement Tuesday.

The fictional nuptials will include pesticide-free flowers and biodegradable favors. Among those involved in the ceremony are a wedding Web site and restaurant owner Ben Ford, an organic chef and son of Harrison Ford.
